Abstract:

The transport sector is a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for about a quarter of the total emissions, and its emissions continue to rise. Vietnam, with strong political determination, is committed to achieving sustainable economic development while preserving the environment, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. This policy brief offers a comprehensive overview of Vietnam’s legal framework for decarbonizing the transport sector and reducing GHG emissions. It furthermore provides valuable insights and knowledge that can assist policymakers, project developers, and organizations in designing and implementing effective strategies to address climate change in the transport sector.
